Property code: OC-P00437

Get away from it all with friends and family in this spacious holiday home in the heart of the Cornish countryside. The property enjoys a peaceful location on a quiet country lane and has beautiful walks on its doorstep through the shared grounds and the picturesque Camel Valley. The Camel Trail cycle route passes the property, should you wish to explore on two wheels, and the beaches of the north coast are within 12 miles.

The stone barn conversion has a reverse-level layout and has many of its original features, along with homely touches – such as underfloor heating - to make your stay as comfortable as possible. On the ground floor, you’ll find the three elegant bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room. The family bathroom is also located on this floor. Upstairs, an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner is the ideal place for spending quality time together, trying new recipes in the stylish kitchen area, dining at the farmhouse-style table, or relaxing in front of the wood burner. A tranquil, enclosed courtyard provides the perfect place for a BBQ at the end of the day. Guests are welcome to explore the extensive shared grounds, including a stretch of the River Camel where anglers can enjoy a spot of fishing (a rod licence will need to be purchased).

The traditional market town of Wadebridge (5 miles) has some lovely independent shops to explore, selling local produce and arts and crafts. After a potter around its winding, narrow streets, pop into one of the historic pubs to refuel. The nearby stretch of coastline is renowned for its magnificent, sandy beaches. For surfing, head to Polzeath (12 miles) or Constantine Bay (16 miles), or for sandcastle building and paddling, you can’t go wrong at the family favourite of Harlyn Bay (17 miles).

This is our third year at The Byre. Its a welcoming, clean, cosy and well equipped home from home. We were met by the new owner Jo who ensured we had everything we needed plus some treats as a celebration of her new venture. We wish her every success and look forward to coming back to The Byre.

Super staying a lovely, tranquil comfortable and well equipped cottage. It has been thoughtfully laid out and worked for us brilliantly meeting needs of kids, grandparents parents and dog. The outside area was lovely for sitting out, and lovely quiet and secluded. We enjoyed exploring along the camel trail to Padstow - the bike shed was really hanRead moredy. And both north and south coast attractions are all in easy reach. A great base and lovely place to chill out. Recommended! Hide
